Hymnal: Laudes Domini #385 (1884) First Line: 'Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow Lyrics: 1 ’Tis midnight; and on Olive’s brow
The star is dimmed that lately shone:
’Tis midnight; in the garden, now
The suffering Saviour prays alone.
2 ’Tis midnight; and from all removed,
The Saviour wrestles lone with fears;
Ev'n that disciple whom he loved
Heeds not his Master’s grief and tears.
3 ’Tis midnight; and for others’ guilt
The Man of Sorrows weeps in blood;
Yet he that hath in anguish knelt
Is not forsaken by his God.
4 ’Tis midnight; and from ether-plains
Is borne the song that angels know;
Unheard by mortals are the strains
That sweetly soothe the Savior’s woe. Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVE'S BROW
